An Omaha man will be 80 years old by the time he's eligible for parole after being sentenced for a deadly crash near 140th and West Center on Aug. 31.

Wednesday, 60-year-old Kevin Malone was sentenced for killing 43-year-old Justin "Chris" Hart, who was on a motorcycle.

Malone drove under the influence, ran a red light, then took off.

In court, before being sentenced, Malone addressed the victim's family: “My sincere apologies to the Hart family. Words cannot express the deep sorrow I feel for this tragic death of Justin and the position I’ve put you all in.”

The victim’s family said the apology was not sincere.

“He hasn't, during this whole process until today, never shown any remorse, guilt or once offered an apology for any of the pain he's caused,” said brother Brian Hart to the judge.

District Judge Shelly Stratman is familiar with Malone’s prior offenses. She ordered probation and an ignition interlock device for Malone's previous DUI conviction.

“Mr. Malone, you are my worst nightmare,” Stratman said in court before the sentencing. “I placed you on probation to address an addiction that you had so that you could be sober and not be a threat to society.”

Malone already DUI convictions in 2010, 2012 and 2014.

“For you to minimize by saying, ‘These are the medications I'm on, I wasn't impaired, they don't have a video of me being impaired,’ you are in such a state of denial,” said Stratman. “I honestly don't know what it's going to take to get to through you, sir.”

Stratman sentenced Malone to 40 to 50 years for motor vehicle homicide, 10 to 20 years for manslaughter, four years for leaving the scene of the crash and one year for violating the ignition interlock device.

These sentences will be served consecutively, which means it will be at least 20 years until Malone will be eligible for parole.
